Memories -- it last Forever!

I was browsing through Pinterest when I saw this inspirational quote:


I super agree with this postcard!
Nothing compares with the memories that we can make together with our family. It is something that we can always look back and reminisce. 

We all know that "Time is limited" and we need to make the most of it while we can.  While we have the means and energy to enjoy these travels.

My husband and I always take some time to take a vacation.  With our family or with ourselves -- simply because we are a firm believer of this postcard and we know that memories are the only thing that we can look back when we grow older.

Here are some of the lovely trips that we had.

Nowadays, the word "travel" means expense.
Well, when you look at it, it is really expense but for me it is an expense worth spending.  It will help build a lasting memory and money cannot buy the memories that can be created in any of these travels made with family.

Here are two of my personal tips on how to make lasting memories if you are in a budget mode:

1. Plan Ahead - My husband and I agreed that we will travel once a year, on our anniversary month.  With this in mind, as early as one year prior to our anniversary, we already plan our expenses and (if we can) we book our flights as early as possible because it's cheaper that way.  Last minute planning can be expensive and super time consuming so better plan ahead of time.

2. Start Simple - Creating memories does not mean that you need to go to Bali or Maldives -- it does not mean that you have to spend all of your savings just to have a picture with the Eiffel Tower or have a Euro Tour.  I always suggest to start traveling within our country, within the metro if you can.  There are a lot of places to see within Metro Manila that can be equally relaxing because it's always about perspective (how one define relaxing).  Then once you have explored Metro Manila then you can start traveling to nearby provinces -- like Laguna, Rizal, Batangas and Cavite.

Always remember what the postcard said:
"You can always make Money, You can't always make memories".

Let's do what we can while we are still young!
Enjoy creating memories! ^_^
